Demoted to Co-Wife? Reborn, the Mistress Wins the Emperor's Heart and Claims the Phoenix Throne

On the day Zhu Qing'an is married, her husband receives orders to go to war. Three years later, he returns victorious, but brings his true love with him and demands that she be made his equal wife.

Ridiculous. Why be an equal wife when she could marry his good friend instead?

Her ex-husband rages helplessly: "Zhu Qing'an, you're a discarded woman on your second marriage. What kind of future could you possibly have? Don't come crying and begging me to take you back."

Yet Zhu Qing'an accidentally becomes empress, enjoying wealth and glory and standing above all others. Even the scumbag and his mistress have to bow respectfully before her.

The mistress crawls in the shadows, consumed by jealousy and resentment: "His Majesty is only infatuated with her novelty. Once he gets bored, it'll be back to the three palaces and six courtyards."

Unfortunately for her, Zhu Qing'an gives birth to a son and immediately has him named crown prince. To celebrate the prince's birth, the emperor grants a general amnesty, and even dismisses every concubine from the palace. All three thousand favors are hers alone.

Zhu Qing'an smiles faintly. She can't help it: she was born lucky.
